"The album was originally called Love Kraft, until someone with access to the internet said that it was also a Super Furry Animals LP. Seeing as James Pants never operated out of any big city music scene, his non-challance about Googling is probably to be expected. The scene that inspires James Pants exists solely in his head, and sometimes David Lynch's. Both men have spent plenty of time living in Spokane, Washington, and found muse in a fictional television town a few miles east. 'It's that Twin Peaks sound,' James Pants says of Love Kraft. 'More noise and wailing guitars.' Lead single 'Darlin'' picks up at another pop culture point, sounding like a doo-wop-channeling prom song in a John Hughes movie. That is, until a swirling guitar so specific to now joins the dance. Stereogum says that 'James Pants will play all your instruments then play with all your styles' and he flexes those production chops throughout his eponymous release. But just because of James Pants' scene-insulated living choices and defiant keyboard choices, doesn't mean he can't work with people. Really rad people, actually. He's remixed Beck, Pharell & Santogold, Dam Funk, and Mayor Hawthorne and a future collaboration with Tyler, the Creator of OFWGKTA."

"Having given birth to a music career and to a human child within the span of a few months, celebrated percussionist James Pants withdrew into solitude for some weeks in the year 2008. Hermetically ensuring his privacy in his remote cabin in & around Spokane, Washington, Pants spurned the noise and clatter of the globetrotting lifestyle, as he nurtured his seed in the form of beautiful baby girl Olive, and took to penning this concept album, now known as Seven Seals. For the moment, with the exception of his touring of Europe and China, wowing the throngs with his exhilarating live ensemble Royal Zodiac, the reclusive Pants occupies himself almost entirely with his offspring, and the disciplined study of oceanography, astronomy and gourmet Latin cooking. For fans of: Gary Wilson, Mort Garson, Beck, The Doors, Bruce Haack."
